Dla dociekliwych, jezeli chcecie wiedziec po co Gillete (ktory kiedys tez produkowal tak zwane "safety razors") zaczal produkowac ten plastikowy chlam, polecam przeczytac artykul:
Safety razor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
W skrocie:
"Plastic disposable razors and razors with replaceable disposable blade attachments, often with two or three cutting edges (but sometimes with four and as of recently, five cutting edges), are in common use today. Still, the double-edged blade continues to have adherents, for reasons of cost (4-7 shaves from a blade costing as low as US$0.12 vs. as high as US$3.50 for one of the latest multi-blade cartridges), comfort (some find the multi-blade cartridge hard on their skin), and pleasure (those now using the double-edged blades find such shaves, usually done with a shaving brush and shaving cream or soap, to be pleasurable."
Tanie, komfortowe (brak prodraznien skory) oraz przyjemne golenie zamienilismy na plastikowy syf.
"It is often debated why Gillette, ASR, and Schick transitioned to the cartridge type razor. One explanation for the shift was that it gave companies control over the blades that were used with their razors. Before the introduction of cartridges, as many as thirty different companies world-wide were making blades that could fit Gillette's razors,[citation needed] thereby engendering intense competition, driving prices and, consequently, profits down."
"At the current time it is possible to find cartridge blades at a price of as much as $4.00 per cartridge[6] while quality double-edge blades are frequently found for as little as $0.10."
Jak niewiadomo o co chodzi to chodzi o pieniadze.
